Will Bob that is what it takes to show what men are made of. I welcome 
your sarcasm, but I am here for the TFN and for all TFN users including 
you. Just remeber that this moron is the one that actually not campaigned 
against the previous board actions against you, but was one of the very 
supportive persons to re-instating your membership, which actually I do 
not expect any thanks from you for, because it was not for you, I would 
do it for any body else, who have been subject to undue process 
(regardless of his innocence/guilt, which is a fact of the law 
procedures. Well, let us face it, it was the same thing that got O.J. 
out, the shadow about 'due process'. 

Please do not to take the previous remark about O.J. as if I compare you 
to him. It was just to hammer the point of due process. 

As for your remarks about me as an office manager, well I am there for Ed 
to train me, I have been there before the holidays, and I shall be there 
from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (in spite of the announcement that Ed made that the 
office will be open only between 1 - 5 p.m. 

I shall also be there to answer technical questions to new users (again 
in spite of Ed's announcement that no help will be provided through the 
TFN lines.

I shall also make sure that the office administration, except for the 
'key' operation that for example require special access privilege, e.g. 
adding an announcement to the 'go announce' menu, or posting the Board's 
minutes, runs through volunteers, which I actually have succeeded in 
recruiting 3 volunteers uptil now (one accountant and 2 electronic 
engineers) just for the office. I am working on other potential 
volunteers, a retired teacher to be TFN volunteer manager and Thomas Main 
who accepted to participate in fund-raising committee and also to publish 
something about the TFN.

So, I am doing what I can, not to control the TFN, but actually to 
re-orient this organization to its origin as a volunteer-based one.

Again welcome back home Mr. Allisat, please feel that the TFN is yours 
and I would appreciate if you can drop by the office any time you are in 
the neighbourhood.

I wish to thank you again for contacting people on behalf of TFN asking
for a Valentine Day benefit. I see that fund-raising and approaching
potential donors/sponsors is not only the duty of all TFN board members,
but also that of all TFN members like yourself (of course this is my
personal opinion). 

Sincerely,
--
